"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). - Matthew 1:23
Our Lord is an extravagant gift-giver! He gave the moon and stars to illuminate our darkness & new mercies with every sunrise. He sends reminders of His invisible life through rushing wind and gentle breezes. Rain refreshes both the righteous and those who are not. Kindness is granted to the grateful and the ungrateful. As wonderful as this is, nothing compares to the Advent Love of a tiny human born to a virgin and found lying in a manger. Immanuel! God with us! His eternal Presence is our eternal gift!
